I had a solution to all of this, actually. I was going to implement "Towny" into the new "Survival World" After AW and PVP World were to merge. This provides 3 things:
1: People have use of their dollars outside of buying items at shops. The economy will allow users to buy land and have "zones" protecting their builds (Automatically, No need for OPs to zone). The Towny Owner, whoever purchased the town, can elect officials to help run it, add people to their zones, expand it and get more reputation in the survival world.
2: The Towns could have their own set of rules (I.E. No PVP, No Griefing, Stealing, etc.)
3: The Town owners would also be able to form teams and fight other towns in "wars" and we could also think about adding factions in the future for even bigger battles. =)
If you all don't like these ideas, we could try an alternative:
-Remove PVP from AW, make it a PvE world. Link two portals for "Survival" in the new spawn world and let others choose between PvE and PvP. Keep PVP world and AdventureWorld separate. Implement Towny idea in current PVP world and allow individual rules for Town owners.
